Strategy Inc stock climbs after MSCI index reprieve — what MSTR traders watch next

Strategy Inc stock climbs after MSCI index reprieve — what MSTR traders watch next

NEW YORK, Jan 8, 2026, 11:21 EST — Regular session Strategy Inc shares rose on Thursday as investors digested MSCI’s decision to keep so-called digital asset treasury companies in its global benchmarks, at least through the next review. The move matters because index membership can drive forced buying and selling from funds that track benchmarks. Losing that slot can turn into a mechanical hit, especially for stocks that already trade like crypto proxies. MSCI is keeping the group in for now, but it is also tightening the screws. The index provider said it plans a broader consultation on “non-operating” companies,

XRP price stock slides near $2 after first ETF outflows as U.S. jobs report nears

NEW YORK, Jan 8, 2026, 10:28 EST — Regular session XRP fell about 5% on Thursday to around $2.09, extending a pullback in major cryptocurrencies after a hot start to 2026. Trading volume over the past 24 hours was about $4.6 billion, CoinMarketCap data showed. CoinMarketCap The XRP price move mattered because one of the big props under the rally — steady demand for U.S.-listed spot XRP exchange-traded funds — showed its first crack. Spot ETFs, which trade like stocks and aim to track XRP’s price, saw roughly $41 million of net outflows on Wednesday, according to SoSoValue data cited

Strategy Inc stock rises after MSCI drops plan to kick bitcoin-treasury firms out of indexes

New York, Jan 7, 2026, 16:40 EST — After-hours Strategy (MSTR.O) was up 2.5% at $161.83 in after-hours trading on Wednesday after MSCI scrapped a plan to exclude digital-asset treasury companies from its indexes. MSCI said it would keep its current approach — covering Strategy, which it lists as a firm whose digital-asset holdings are at least half of total assets — while it launches a broader review; Strategy said the policy would hold for MSCI’s February 2026 index review. Bitcoin fell 2.7% to $90,986, and Strategy’s shares were down about 47.5% last year. Reuters That matters because MSCI’s benchmarks

Bitcoin price forecast: $100,000 bets build as BTC slips below $91,000 before U.S. jobs data

NEW YORK, January 7, 2026, 14:34 (EST) — Regular session Bitcoin fell on Wednesday, with the world’s largest cryptocurrency down about 1.4% at $90,951. It has traded between $90,629 and $93,734 so far in the session. The pullback lands in a week when macro data are back in charge of the tape, and bitcoin is trading with it. U.S. job openings slid in November and economists expect Friday’s nonfarm payrolls report to show another modest gain, a mix that could shape rate-cut bets and risk appetite in one go.

Bitcoin price slips as Strategy stock rises on MSCI index reprieve

NEW YORK, Jan 7, 2026, 13:44 (EST) — Regular session Strategy shares rose on Wednesday after MSCI backed away from a plan that could have pushed the bitcoin-heavy company out of major benchmarks, even as bitcoin slipped.

MSCI said on Tuesday it would keep the current treatment of “digital asset treasury companies” — firms it defines as having crypto holdings worth at least 50% of total assets — and open a broader consultation on how non-operating companies should be handled.

MSCI hits pause on crypto index kick-out plan — Strategy pops after-hours

New York, January 6, 2026, 18:07 (EST) MSCI said on Tuesday it has decided “not to implement” a proposal to exclude digital asset treasury companies from its MSCI Global Investable Market Indexes as part of its February 2026 index review, and will instead open a wider consultation on the treatment of non-operating companies. https://app2.msci.com/webapp/index_ann/DocGet?format=html&lang=en&pub_key=DD3Olh5uInk%3D The decision matters because MSCI benchmarks are widely used by passive funds that track indexes. A removal can force automatic selling, while inclusion can keep a stock in front of large pools of index-linked money. MSCI’s stance was not a clean all-clear. It said companies on
